Craig ArnottPublished 4 years ago in Geeks"On the Road" by Jack Kerouac
I first read this book when I was fourteen years’ old and I’m not going to lie to you, the very first time I read it - I didn’t actually enjoy it all that much. The reason was because it was written in a style that I was entirely used to and so, I didn’t end up understanding the entire drift of the novel. Instead, I put it aside for a while, hoping that someday I would figure it all out. And that’s exactly what happened. When I was sixteen years’ old, I saw the novel “On the Road” in a bookshop in my hometown and I was immediately taken back to those memories of trying to get into it at fourteen and failing miserably. The reason these memories were so pressed into my mind was because of the fact that it was just after my fourteenth birthday and I had a science test the day after completing the book. The copy in the shop window was absolutely beautiful and I went to buy it. Instead of just having the book, it had some explanatory essays I made use of as well and so, when I ended up re-reading it (well, I’ll call it reading for the first time, because it was the first time I understood it), I read the essays as well and referred to all this extra material for guidance. It slowly became one of my favourite books to re-read after that.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Guide to: 20 Films of the 1970s
The 1970s were an interesting decade for film because we were moving more towards knowing our genres apart. In comparison to the 1960s and before, it was more difficult to tell whether your opinion was that "Rosemary's Baby" (1968) was a horror or a thriller because of its method of suggestiveness. But, by the time we get to the 1970s, I think through the way we get a very full-on approach to horror especially, nobody would even think to suggest that "The Exorcist" (1973) was a thriller film. We are very sure that is horror by the way in which we are now allowed to see exactly what's going on.

Some found that the film felt inconsistent and could have been much better. In fact, it sparked a fan campaign to have Zack Snyder finish his interpretation of the film as he had envisioned it.

After so many delays in production, it is understandable for DC fans to believe that The Flash movie would never happen, even with the general knowledge that it would incorporate elements of the Flashpoint storyline from the comics. However, recent news of Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton reprising their respective Batman/Bruce Wayne roles in this film breathed more enthusiasm into the fandom. On top of that, DC FanDome included a virtual panel dedicated to The Flash film. Though it was only ten minutes in length, it did enough to assure fans that the wheels are still in motion regarding the film.
